Yes you can. Excel is an automation object so you can get the IUnknown (or any other published interface) from it using CoCreateInstance then use the appropriate methods. Their are lots of VB examples and some c++ out on MSDN.
Or you can talk to it via ODBC. You'll have to rummage around MSDN http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/ to find which method works best for you.
I've found myself in a very similar situation: I need to input/output data from/to an excel file. Thanks in advance.
Use a type of Excel file called a .csv
That is one where the cells are seperated by commas.
Can be written as text or by Excel.
Do a search on the Windows programming board for more info.

Thanks! I'll give that a try.
